Borrow in from git-scripts
I'd like to invite you to grab whatever from https://github.com/jwiegley/git-scripts you'd like, to consolidate our two collections.
This could be difficult due to the lack of a common license. Especially since some of the scripts are copied from a chat and do not have proper attributions or licensing information. I actually have no idea as to how we could approach this.
There are some nifty scripts in there, but we cannot take them as-is, both for legal and other reasons.
@tj, or someone else with the authority to do so in this repo would need to advise on what license you must release your code under. The code in this repository is MIT, and so for your collection of scripts to be included they must at least have a license that is compatible with that. Some of the scripts are GPL-licensed and redistributing them with the rest of the project could be messy from a legal standpoint. (If you thought "what?" now: MIT is GPL-compatible, so you can have MIT-code in GPL projects, and redistribute the project as a whole under the terms of the GPL, but GPL is not MIT-compatible so it doesn't work the other way around.)
What to do with the copied code? I have no idea.

Without the file COPYING we can't do anything with this. There is no way to tell what those conditions are.
It says you wrote some of the scripts yourself. Which scripts are those and what license are they available under?
